Indians Outright Frank Herrmann

Here are today's minor moves and minor outright assignments from around the league…

The Indians announced, via Twitter, that right-hander Frank Herrmann has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Columbus. The 29-year-old Herrmann missed the entire 2013 campaign as he recovered from Tommy John surgery. He has a career 4.26 ERA with 5.4 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 in 126 1/3 Major League innings and a stronger 3.13 ERA in 178 innings at the Triple-A level.

In case you didn't see, earlier today, the Pirates made the rather surprising announcement that right-hander Vin Mazzarohas cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A. Mazzaro has three days to accept or reject the assignment.
